LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Hill's return to market is welcome

So happy to be welcoming back Commerce Bank founder Vernon Hill to the South Jersey area! Hill's experience in banking remains unmatched today, and I for one will certainly be doing my banking at his newest endeavor, Republic Bank.

When Hill sold Commerce Bank to Toronto-based TD Bank back in 2007, I did stay on for a short time as a customer.

However, I soon found out that the customer-friendly business he established had changed.

TD Bank might have bought Hill's business and clients, along with his slogan "America's Most Convenient Bank." However, that slogan became nothing more than a hollow sentence that came with the package purchase. TD Bank could not buy nor match the reputation Hill and Hill alone built.

It had to earn that reputation, and as of yet, I have not seen that it has.
